A recent federal court ruling has determined that parental rights are not absolute, allowing schools to withhold details about children’s gender transitions. This decision challenges the biblical model of the family as the primary authority for nurturing truth and righteousness (Ephesians 6:4). It reflects a broader cultural shift toward moral relativism that undermines God’s ordained order.
The ruling highlights a secular trend that seeks to redefine gender and identity apart from God’s creation.
